I went to the mall last night and I saw an iron man there. Here’s the picture. I wrote a sentence:

There’s an iron man built out of logo in the mall; it’s said that it was used of 5,000 logo cubes.

Please help me with a natural sentence.

I wrote a the following sentence:

There’s an a Lego Iron Man built out of Lego in the mall; it’s said that it was used of consists of 5,000 logo Lego cubes bricks.
1. Well done for using a semi-colon in the final sentence instead of a comma.
2. Note that both Lego and Iron Man are proper nouns so must be capitalised.
3. The individual pieces of Lego are called "bricks" (regardless of the shape).
 
There’s a Lego Iron Man in the shopping mall ; it’s said that it consists of 5,000 Lego bricks.

I might say this to some of my friends who are interested in Lego. Is it okay to add "in the shopping mall" to be more specific?

Fixed the typo.

First, correct the typo in that post, which you clearly did not check carefully before and after posting.
 
Done. I think it's necessary and also natural to add the red phrase and please confirm this for me.

I must apologise, @Silverobama. I didn't mean to strike through "in the shopping mall". That was an error. In fact, without giving the location, it wouldn't make sense!

Note that although you retained the semi-colon you added a space before it. That's wrong. Don't put a space before a semi-colon but always put one after.
